Set during the life time of Rasputin (the mad monk of Russia), and spanning across Siberia and Europe. The Gypsy Witch, is a sweeping tale of the Romany (gypsies), their magical ways and romantic customs.

Rasputin, known for alcohol abuse, tantric sex and womanizing is on his way to controlling the court of Russia by convincing the Czarina that he is the only one who can heal her hemophiliac son. But when he meets a young gypsy girl he learns that he is not the only one with magical powers. And a woman’s feelings should never be taken lightly.

Before his severe head trauma is ever diagnosed, Daniel Never wanders from the hospital where he has woken onto the dark streets of Manhattan, unaware of why or when he made the trip from Philadelphia. Motivated by the psychological effects of his injuries, the suggestions of voices in his mind and the unusual tales of his dreams, the year to follow throws him, his family and the characters of his delusions into both real-life turmoil and an unlikely struggle that has spanned the course of American history.

The Never Fable is, on its surface, a thriller centered around the trappings of post-traumatic psychosis, homelessness, substance abuse and rehabilitation. But beneath that surface lies great adventure – a type of historical and religious mythology paralleling Daniel’s grandfather’s war stories and the endless babbling of his family’s television set. Throughout, Daniel flies full-speed from Andrew Jackson’s invasion of Spanish Florida to everyday frustrations with an ex-girlfriend, between the bizarre death of Zachary Taylor and the difficulty of simply finding a job, from the battles of the American Civil War to the nuisances of therapy sessions and hospital visits, and then back again, full-circle, to a shocking solution to all of Daniel’s problems.

Sarina is already an extraordinarily talented artist at age 12. She has an ambition to become a world-famous painter, but her first year in high school is exposing the one weakness that could topple her plans—she is hopeless at maths and science, and it shows.

The Principal makes it clear that unless she passes the next maths assessment, she will not be allowed to continue her beloved art studies, and he will prevent her from entering the highly coveted ‘National Young Artists Breakthrough Competition’.

Sarina is thrown off-balance by a string of disturbing dreams that transport her into a parallel world; one that is under-threat and stricken by the loss of its women and children. When she responds to a cry for help from the other world’s only remaining boy, a deaf-mute, she unexpectedly encounters dark magic.

She finds herself battling a menacing sorcerer and a sadistic bird-like creature—and soon discovers she has hidden powers connected to her artistic talents.

As the deadline for the maths assessment draws near, Sarina can barely focus; and the vivid dreams are now putting everything at risk.

The boy begs Sarina to use her powers to help him save his world, but she is torn between safeguarding her own future and the boy’s desperate plea for help.

Fending off the constant put-downs from the annoying school genius, one day things take a sickening turn for the worse, and her strange dreams become her worst nightmare.
